Report: Russia revives 'Skif' seabed-based nuclear missile concept

The post cites Tagesschau/NATO intelligence claims that Russia may be preparing the 'Skif' project: placing nuclear-capable ballistic missiles in containers on the seabed for covert launch, potentially using a modified Sineva SLBM. If real, this is a notable basing/launch innovation aimed at survivability and cost reduction versus SSBNs, creating major detection and counterforce challenges.
